that my jobsite requires a non-blank screen saver to be running on all
platforms that are powered up. Of course because of this, we also
can't take advantage of power management since that would result in a
blank screen as well.
Never mind -- there are people who want blanking only and there are
people who want eye candy (for whatever reason). I was thinking about
how to tackle this one from the technical side since the last time this
was discussed on the list, so basically it now boils down to:
- how to implement this best (the drop in config that is, the other
stuff is fairly straight forward)
- how to blackmail^Wbribe^Wconvince jwz to accept this upstream ;-)
- how granular we want to do this (I'd vote for xscreensaver,
-hacks-cheap and -hacks-expensive so everyone knows what they're dealing
with ;-)
